Symmetry and Mirrors

Having extruded the splines successfully after sorting out a few minor anomalies I really felt I had achieved something as the face - well, half of it - was starting to take shape!



As for the other half; Erics tutorial covered all the major ways to duplicate an object. The image below is of one such way (Symmetry), though, later in the tutorial Eric explains that this is not the most efficient way of mirroring a face as it can cause ruptions along the seem of the divide. The recomended way to duplicate a face happens to be the 'mirror' tool situated in the modifier menu. The advantage of using this is that it irons over any minor creases that can appear along the seem without any effort from the user, handy.
